Abstract

This paper addresses a very crictial Issue relating human factor to the quality Inspection workstation design. In lot of lstance these workstation lack the consideration of human capabilities and limitations in their design, which could be included to enhance both the productivity and safety of the workplace and more importantly of the inspector, the paper presents a methodology which is easy to use and can be effectively applied to provide an analyst with a measure to compare the existing quality inspection station design utility with the utility of many number of alternate options having varying applications of human factors in their design. Also these new systems could be compared between each other. The major human factor features identified and Included in the analysis are namly, the time available for Inspection, lighting for task, Inspector's vision and inspector's posture. The major goals Identified are, Improved Inspector's detectability, better inspection consequence, improved product reputation and better inspection procedure and steps. 
These goals are considered under productivity category, whereas, three other goale are identified under health and safety category, these include the reduction of compensation costs, reduction of governmental fines and penalties and minimization of lost time due to injurles and accidents because of poor human factor consideeations in the design of the ststion. In general this paper presents a very practical, hands on and easy methodology for human factor justification in redesigns of the existing quality inspection workstations.
